HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- Seven names were presented to the Huntsville city school board tonight as candidates to be the beleaguered system's next superintendent.

Among the group is Barry Carroll, the superintendent of Limestone County schools and a former principal at Ed White Middle School. Also in the group is Frank Libutti of Huntsville, a retired three-star lieutenant general in the U.S. Marines who is currently president and chief operating officer of 3D Global Solutions.

George McShan, director of BWP & Associates, the search firm hired by the board to identify the candidates, told the board tonight, "We have a superintendent in this group."
